Chapter 191: Magic Potion and Magic Potion
"Then, you drank a cup of potion that would cause blindness in the left eye. Because it was diluted hundreds of times, the effect was not obvious. Some mint was added to the potion to cover up the unique stench of this kind of potion. Very good idea."
The saint said with a smile.
The second kind of potion sounded indeed like a magic potion being practiced. But the magic potion being diluted a hundred times and deliberately adding mint seemed to be a problem. Combining it with the first kind of magic potion, the first two kinds of potions seemed to be used to cover up what she really wanted Xia De to drink...
"Oh, the third kind is really a very ancient potion. In the era when I was still very young, this kind of potion had already appeared. I didn't expect it to still circulate in the next era."
The saint smiled again:
"It has many names, but there is only one main function: gender identification."
"Gender identification?"
Xia De asked hesitantly, and then thought of more things.
"Yes, male creatures will tremble all over after drinking it, but females will not have any effect. In a very ancient era, well, it was the Third Era, some terrible and weird things occupied the world. In order to distinguish them from humanoid intelligent creatures, people at that time invented a series of potions, and this is just one of the very inconspicuous ones... Looking at your appearance, you seem to understand some things."
"Yes... obvious targets cover up real targets... so that's it. Thinking about it, that delivery mission..."
Xia De narrowed his eyes.
Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's delivery mission, now that I think about it, although reasonable, always feels weird. This weird feeling was finally understood at this moment. Perhaps, that mission was similar to this one. The point was probably not to bring the cosmetic box back; the point of the mission was to let Xia De try to open the cosmetic box once.
He still remembered that when he transferred the cosmetic box to the maid in the carriage, the latter asked him to try to open it once.
"Using the cosmetic box to determine I am not a woman, using the magic potion to determine I am a man... What is this for?"
He thought about it, looked up and asked again:
"Sorry, I might be a little greedy, but I want to know if I am a male."
Compared to guessing, getting the answer directly was much simpler. He considered himself both soul and body to be, but encountering the current situation, he had to confirm it to be at ease.
The saint said happily:
"This is another interesting question, but I can answer it. Your body, your soul, are both pure male. I guarantee this myself."
Xia De was relieved now.
What exactly the Great Witch with red hair wanted to do, Xia De still had no clue. And for the clues obtained, now was not a good opportunity to analyze.
Time was running out.
"God, I have come to witness the last wish."
He stabilized his mind and said. The young man wearing a ridiculous clown hat clapped his hands, and the three children finally drilled out from the aisle of the toy shelves again.
They recognized Xia De and understood that he was here to fulfill their wishes, so they showed sincere smiles.
Xia De hoped that this kind of smile could be maintained, especially the boy who wanted to grow up, after tasting the magic potion.
The magic potion was not brought to the past time and space, and Xia De had long expected this. Although the situation was worse, at least he was not unprepared. Xia De planned to configure the magic potion himself. Even though he hadn't learned it, he had already inquired about the techniques from Priest Augustus. This was not a complicated magic potion formula.
"Do you have the raw materials for magic potions here? I have learned the formula for a magic potion that can make children grow up."
He asked the saint, who nodded gently:
"What do you need?"
"Stamen of the Nine-Leaf Star Flower."
"Have it."
The saint took out a whole flower from the drawer of the counter and placed it on the desktop. The boy who was thirsty for growth looked at them expectantly, holding the wooden toy sword. It seemed that the saint had given a blessing again, allowing them to understand Xia De's language.
"Two live Star-Jumping Insects."
"Have it."
He took out two live insects from the drawer again.
"Juice it."
"Can."
With a casual pinch, green disgusting juice oozed from between his fingers and fell into a small bottle that appeared on the desktop at some point.
The boy's face turned pale.
"Nine drops of genetic material of the Red-Footed Fire Ape."
"What a terrible thing."
But he still took out a small bottle from the drawer. There were some white things in the transparent solution.
The boy's face turned completely pale:
"Wait, sir, is the magic potion oral or..."
"Of course it is oral. Also, feces and saliva of adult Fire-Tongue Sheep."
"Interesting material."
The bottles were placed on the counter one by one. Just looking at these things would make people want to retch. The youngest boy and the oldest girl had already moved far away from the counter, while the boy holding the wooden sword had his lips moving, seeming to want to say something.
"Earwax, eye wax, hair, and blood of ordinary people of three genders and ages."
"I'm already looking forward to the finished product."
More and more small bottles appeared there.
"Gentlemen..."
The boy said in a low voice. Xia De was seriously recalling the formula, so he didn't hear it, while the saint was cooperating with him.
"Finally, the green sticky phlegm of a hybrid animal of a horse and a donkey."
"Ugh~"
The girl made an exaggerated retching sound and hid in the center of the shelf with the youngest boy. The latter was really scared, while the former had an expression of watching the excitement.
As for the boy holding the toy wooden sword, he had an expression of almost collapsing.
God took out the materials. Xia De looked at them with a serious expression, knowing that he was about to face a huge amount of engineering. There were seven minutes left, and he planned to try twice. If neither was successful, he would change his strategy and use rhetoric to satisfy the boy's need for growth.
"Gentlemen, I..."
Although the boy holding the toy sword was not old, at this age, he already understood the "lethality" of these things on the counter.
"Oh, and rotten sour milk! I actually forgot this!"
Xia De patted his head, and the saint also smiled and took out a milk bottle from under the counter. It shouldn't just be sour. Xia De saw a layer of terrible brown and green things floating on the milk surface.
"Gentlemen, I don't want..."
"Are these all the materials?"
God confirmed to the detective from the future. Xia De thought about it:
"Honey doesn't have to be added. This is not a necessary material, just to adjust the taste."
"That's good, I'll help you configure it."
God smiled happily and pointed at the things on the table. They merged together in the light and turned into a terrible potion in a teacup.
Not only was the taste terrible, but the color was also quite terrible. This color was the same as the one configured by Priest Augustus. God would not make a mistake.
Only at this step did Xia De breathe a sigh of relief. Although God let him come to fulfill the wish, it didn't seem that He was unwilling to help. What He needed seemed to be just letting Xia De find the method.
"That's right, this is it, Magic Potion - The Price of Growth."
Saying that, he turned around from the counter and beckoned to the boy holding the toy sword, trying his best to show an expression he thought was kind:
"Come and experience the growth you want. This is absolutely unforgettable."
Because the taste was really too unpleasant, Xia De had to speak in a muffled voice. Seeing Xia De looking at him, the boy widened his eyes and backed away, subconsciously raising the wooden toy sword to block in front of him:
"No, I don't want to drink it. You are a liar. This is not the growth I want!" ===== CHAPTER 192 =====
